Chapter 21 Salute before Soldiers

The guests in the palace were like clouds, and the famous people in the entire territory under the jurisdiction of Prince Zuo sent people to send congratulatory gifts.

Chen Xuan took Zuo Yezi and two guests from afar to the side hall of the palace, Chang Shijian and Wu Wei are from the rivers and lakes, so they are naturally not qualified to drink in the same hall with a prince and marquis, but they just sit with many squires and small officials.

Chen Xuan and Zuo Yezi entered the main hall directly and sat behind the desk in front.

At this time, the golden and brilliant main hall was brightly lit, and more than a dozen cases were divided into two columns, and the sitting were all dignitaries of the Northern Qi Dynasty and several generals of the Left Route Army.

Prince Zuo Jiang Yu sat above, once swore not to break Suzhou and not remove his armor, at this time he was still wearing golden armor, and his long hair was scattered, quite a bit of the arrogance of a veteran on the battlefield.

In the middle of the main hall, the envoys sent by the monarch of the Northern Qi Dynasty were reading the congratulatory message written by the emperor's imperial pen.

Qi Guohai and He Yao, two martial artists with some status, sat next to the desk in the back.

Qi Guohai is in his early forties, he is the head coach of the Northern Qi Imperial Boxing Gym, and he is in the year of fighting, and he is only one of the best masters in the capital of Northern Qi.

"Yezi, why did you come here?"

Qi Guohai and Zuo Qingqiu are of the same generation, they are considered elders, and they once pointed out Zuo Yezi a little. Zuo Yezi's attitude was more respectful, and he bowed slightly:

"Fang Cai and Master Chen went to meet two people from the rivers and lakes, saying that there was a good seedling for Master to see, so they went over and chatted."

He Yao was extremely tall and a martial artist, and when he heard this, he turned his head:

"The closed disciples of the national teacher, the threshold is not ordinarily high, and now the younger generation of Northern Qi is your senior brother who is more talented than Zuo Gongzi, and if you count the Central Plains, there is only one Mei Qusheng and one Xu Buling. Could it be that a good seedling, better than Zuo Gongzi? ”

Zuo Yezi smiled flatly: "The world is so big, there should be many strange people, Chang'an and his party, but it made me understand what it means to be 'high in the sky and high in the earth'." ”

Qi Guohai laughed twice: "It's good to have this heart, but those who practice martial arts should have a sense of arrogance." Mei Qusheng and Xu Buling are only a few famous among the young people in the Central Plains, Yezi is a masterpiece, and now there may be a gap, and after a few years of penance, he will naturally catch up. ”

Zuo Yezi thought back slightly: "Xu Bu order this person, huh...... Can't be counted as a person, it's so powerful that people can palpitate when they get caught in the Lock Dragon Gu, I heard the spies say that they have recently found an antidote from the Western Regions, and once the Lock Dragon Gu is solved, it is really unimaginable how powerful it can be. ”

He Yao shook his head: "No matter how famous he is, he is also a person, Zuo Gongzi has never been out of the rivers and lakes, he met Xu Buling in the first battle, and it is normal to be impressed by him, and when the world sees a lot in the future, he will find that it is actually like that." ”

While he was talking, a guard suddenly rushed in from outside the main hall.

Because the envoy of the capital was reading the monarch's congratulatory message, and the guests were talking and whispering, it was obviously rude to break in so recklessly.

For a while, the envoy stopped speaking with the holy decree in his hand, and Prince Zuo Jiang Yu also frowned, and said:

"Why is it in such a hurry, Xu You can't call over?"

"Hehehe......"

There were a few chuckles in the main hall, and their eyes shifted to the guards who had suddenly entered.

The guard's face was panicked, and he stepped forward and bowed:

"Lord Wang, there is a guest outside, claiming to be Xu Buling, the prince of King Su, who came to congratulate the prince on his birthday."

“……”

The guests were a little inexplicable, even Zuo Yezi and Chen Xuan frowned, and their first reaction was that someone came to swagger and cheat the banquet.

However, the swagger also reported the name of a nearby big family, and King Su was close, but he was a king with a different surname from an enemy country, and he was opposed to each other, could it be that there were still people who hadn't heard of it?

Jiang Yu tilted his head slightly, was slightly stunned, and then made sure that he had heard correctly, and said in a deep voice:

"All the mess came in to report, Xu Youneng sent his son over to congratulate the king on his birthday, and the king cut off his head and gave him a night pot."

With anger in his tone, the guard shook in fright, and said in a trembling voice:

"I thought I was fishing in troubled waters, but I just ...... Just ......"

Before he finished speaking, a noise sounded outside the main hall.

So people turned their heads to look, but saw that in the small square outside the hall, a white-clothed boy like snow had bypassed the shadow wall, holding a roast chicken in his left hand and a 'long stick' wrapped in black cloth in his right hand, and strode towards the main hall.

Dozens of doormen and soldiers with swords in their hands were struggling to stop and scold, but unfortunately, no matter how high or low they were, they were slapped down with understatement at close range, as if they were in a no-man's land.

Hundreds of guests around the main hall stood up from behind the case when they saw someone making trouble. every day

The Chang Shijian in the side hall frowned, he didn't know Xu Buling if he hadn't seen him, and when he saw Prince Zuo's guards so unbeaten, he thought about getting up and helping to clean up and make a favor, but Wu Wei beside him suddenly pressed his shoulder.

Chang Shijian turned his head, but saw Wu Wei's eyes full of bloodshots, staring at the white-clothed figure, gritting his teeth and saying:

"Don't be impatient, this person is not an ordinary person."

Chang Shijian was slightly stunned when he heard this, and after taking a closer look, he sat down again.

"Bold—"

"Who are you—"

The shouting outside the main hall continued, and the guests of the palace surrounded from all directions.

Xu Buling carried a lance and roast chicken, patted away the miscellaneous fish that stood in the way along the way, came to the front of the main hall, and after seeing the armored man sitting in the deepest part, he said:

"I heard that Prince Zuo is celebrating today's birthday, and the son of this world came to congratulate him, but he never thought that he would be attacked by swords, and the Northern Qi Dynasty is also a state of etiquette, this is your hospitality?"

The voice was clear and unhurried, but it reached the ears of everyone in the surrounding halls.

"Xu Buling?!"

Zuo Yezi reacted when he heard the voice, and immediately showed a stunned face, a little incredulous.

Qi Guohai and He Yao frowned, only hearing that the martial arts of people were unfathomable, and they still didn't believe that King Su's son dared to run here.

Chen Xuan's face changed drastically, and he stood up: "Isn't it the Xiliang Army that has broken the city?" Hurry up, go out of town and see ......."

Jiang Yu is also incredible, but compared to Xiliang Tieqi silently breaking the black city, it is more likely that the prince of Su will run over, after all, Xu Buling was ready to do this a few years ago, but after leaving the customs, he got lost and ran to kill a litter of horse bandits.

In the time of two sentences, Xu Buling had already entered the main hall, and the guests of the palace were guarding Jiang Yu in front of him with a sword, and Qi Guohai and He Yao also stood up.

Jiang Yu glanced at Xu Buling, because he had seen Xu You on the battlefield, and at this time he really confirmed that the person who came was the son of King Su, and said:

"Xu Shizi is so courageous, he dares to come."

Xu Buling carried the roast chicken, walked to the center of the hall as if no one was around, raised his sword eyebrows lightly, and looked at Jiang Yu above:

"The middle door is wide open to welcome guests from all over the world, why don't I dare to come?"

Chen Xuan saw that it was really Xu Buling, and after analyzing the situation a little, his expression became excited, and he said:

"Take him down quickly, he is the son of King Su......"

"Wait!"

Before the many guards moved, Jiang Yu raised his hand:

"Xu Buling, Xu You is asking you to surrender?"

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and then they felt that it was very possible to send their own son over, and there seemed to be no other possibility than Tou Cheng.

King Su has just broken through Wangnanguan, and now the two armies are still fighting in Yuanzhou, and they have always pursued by victory, and it is too unbelievable to surrender by victory.

Xu Buling faced the puzzled eyes of everyone present, put the roast chicken in his hand on the table, and smiled brightly:

"Let me Xu family surrender, Prince Zuo is afraid that it will not be enough. Come over to congratulate you on your birthday, and discuss something with Prince Zuo by the way. ”

When Jiang Yu heard this, he was not angry, and raised his hand to let the doorman put away his sword first:

"This king respects the old general, give you a face, and have something to say. Although 'the two armies will not fight each other', if you don't have a suitable reason today, and you want to return to Dayue, Xu You may have to exchange two states. ”

Xu Buling obliquely held the long lance wrapped in black cloth and glanced at everyone present:

"A few days ago, the Wangnan Pass was broken, the Qi army held on to Yuanzhou, and the two armies were deadlocked in Yuanzhou, and the war caused many merchants to dare not come and go. So my father asked me to come over and talk to Prince Zuo. ”

Jiang Yu frowned: "You came to ask for peace?" ”

Xu Buling smiled: "It's okay for Prince Zuo to think so, the two sides will make a truce, General Tu will no longer attack Yuanzhou, and the Northern Qi will take Jingyuan as the boundary, and assign the territory south of Jingyuan to me Dayue......"
